I see my self as a writer, because I write. I wouldn’t say that I would be good at writing novels, or even short stories, but I am a writer. I recently was asked how I came up with my story lines, and it caught me off guard that I never really thought of it. I believe I could e a novelist if I really wished too, but what I might not lack in skill. I think I still need to grow in mental support.
I know that there are many writers out there that have excellent talent, and do not do anything because the mental strain of completing the story. I fall in to that category I believe, but I recently asked my self why am I there.
I am saying this because I really want to know some of the tips you all have to help overcome the mental block that prevents so many great works from being created. I am getting over it, but still I haven’t put a definition to how I am doing it. There is no set trick that I used to get over it. I just simply did, and now I am trying to complete my dream. I wonder if other people find themselves in the same situation, and I wonder what they did to overcome it.
I still wonder what I did to do it, and that is the question I am posing to those that read this. What triggers that step from procrastination to ongoing drive to complete? I don’t know my self, but would love to see if anybody could tell me what triggered it in them.

Hmm i have the same problem too...! But the mental block is seriously hindering my abilities. I mean like you said where you have the knowledge that you can write but this bar keeps blocking it! Sorry i cant give any advice coz im a newbie. I just hope you get comfort in knowing there are others like you.
